Yes, it’s dorky, but I can’t help but get pumped everytime I hear “Real American.” Music is so crucial to the very nature of professional wrestling, and though it may not be classified as sport to some, I still plan to touch upon it in my paper. After all, it’s what started me on this quixotic journey in the first place (more on that in a future post)! Anyway, the lyrics to this are actually pretty decent as far as wrestling music goes, so I figured I’d post em alongside the video.
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what’s right, fight for your life!
When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside,
ya’ gotta take a stand, it don’t help to hide,
Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can’t let it slide,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what’s right, fight for your life!
I feel strong about right and wrong,
And I don’t take trouble for very long,
I got something deep inside of me, and courage is the thing that keeps us free,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what’s right, fight for your life!
Well you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can’t let it slide,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what’s right, fight for your life!
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what’s right, fight for your life!
Nothing like good ol fashioned, chest thumping patriotism is there?
